💾 Enhanced Supermicro CSE-M28SACB-OEM 8x2.5" SAS/SATA HDD Mobile Rack with Advanced iPASS Backplane Review

This is a good SAS/SATA device for my 12Gb/s hard drives. Make sure you bought the correct cable. Highly recommended. However, make sure that all disks are as fast as possible. My first had two drives that didn't work. My first purchase was from another seller.

I can confirm Mr. McGraw's LED problems in another test (see video). I can also attest to the lack of technical knowledge of Supermicro support and their unwillingness to take on much of the responsibility when there is no other possible perspective. They said that the LEDs are only activated by the controller/HBA and that the manufacturer should be contacted and if everything is ok close the case. until I disabled the controller and voila, same problem. I've also used every controller, SAS…

Worked exactly as expected and supported 12g SAS drives which I didn't see in my Norco enclosure. My only gripe would be the very light blue drive light, but I guess that's what duct tape is for. Reliable assembly and zero problems.
